Grand Elder Amos was observing the unruly wretched targeting the precious treasure that was meant for only the people of Time Immemorial Sect as his power rumbled out.

’None of you can have it!’

OONG

His thoughts moved rapidly as he sent attacks towards any cultivators that neared the temple and tried to ascend it, but even more of his attention was spread to the confident Otherworlder who brought with him a Saint Realm Guard.

Grand Elder Amos was wondering just which person with status would be able to do something like this, but he could have never guessed that this being was a Celestial on a simple mission to obtain the same treasure he wanted to get his hands on.

The Celestial breathed out calmly as the area around the temple became less rowdy, the ones around finally realizing they would only face death if they fought with those trying to lay claim to this treasure.

He gazed towards the Grand Elder, as well as the group from the Magus World which held a powerful being now carrying a physical form of a humungous Black Serpent.

These were his opponents that stood between him and his mission, thus they had to die!

OONG!

Essence rumbled as his Transcendent Rank energy erupted out...and the Celestial closed his eyes. A second passed when a spectacular sight occurred, and a golden eye appeared at the center of his forehead!

This golden eye shone in resplendent light as it released a heavy pressure that seemed to be in no way less powerful than the Saint Realm Grand Elder Amos or the powerful bloodline warlock, Black Serpent.

This was the third eye that could only be cultivated by those who were proficient in the Law of Fate!

One of the Supreme Laws that very few beings could get their hands on, yet this Rank 3 Celestial Disciple had already cultivated it to the extent that he could bring out the Eye of Fate. Those facing this eye could do nothing but tremble beneath its power.

The Celestial that very few knew by the name of Drax opened his third eye as he boldly made the first attack against the two Saint Realm contenders. The Punisher by his side stood back, as this trial was only for him to pass. Only if he was about to face imminent death would the punisher move to save him.

Grand Elder Amos shook off the surprise of this Transcendent Realm being actually matching his power as he erupted out, sending attacks towards both him and the rushing Black Serpent.

"The ebb of time flows and flutters, yet a singe prison stalls in the river of time. Simmer in the sea of turbidity, reflect the embers of age, and extinguish all hopes of victory!"

The third stage of the top-ranked Violet Immemorial Technique, [Cage of Time], was cast!

OONG

A sound as if a trumpet was being overblown rang out, and the atmosphere darkened as two cages of darkness appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards their respective targets.

"Haha!"

The figure of the tremendous Black Serpent that was the vicious Magus kept his eyes on the sweetly rotating dagger atop the temple as its large body expanded even more, a sonorous voice ringing out from him.

"Descend, Serpent Ancestor!"

Runic circles erupted out all over the huge body of the Black Serpent as essence of ridiculous proportions erupted out, his large body of a snake gaining features of a dragon that let out beams of red lights towards the descending attacks from the Grand Elder of Time Immemorial Sect and the Celestial, Drax.

BOOM!

Terrible waves of power spread out at the point of contact as anyone near was blown back, and a battle of crazy levels of power began.

While this fight was occurring, something that nobody had caught was occurring in the dark. If one were to be paying close enough attention, they would notice the overflowing levels of blood that was caused by the deaths of many beings surrounding the Temple begin to be absorbed on the ground as they disappeared to unknown locations.

Something even more minuscule to notice was the vibrant lifeforce of those already dead on the ground being slowly drained as they turned into even worse looking lifeless husks overtime. But the beings around the area were not paying attention to this! Their attention was on the horrendous fight that blew out waves of power that would hurt them if they were near, as well as the stupendous rotating treasure that they knew they could not get their hands on.

Another thing that nobody had noticed was the miniaturized figure of a Nine-Headed Dragon, [The Calamitous Leviathan] that was slowly making his way towards the top of the Temple with all hiding and covert skills active as extreme care was being given not to be noticed by the powerful experts battling around the surroundings of the Temple. In order to not let out any traces of energy as he slowly climbed up, Noah stopped the activation of the unique skill, {Observant}, that would have spread his awareness out all around, as those with power at Saint Realm would notice it!

But this meant that even he was not aware of the change of draining blood and life that was occurring all around as everybody kept their attention on either the treasure or the ongoing fight.

Beneath the Temple that powerful figures were fighting on ran runic red lines that pulsed with fearsome life force. The runic lines were spread throughout the temple located in this cavern, as well as spreading out even further to other caverns of the mountain located in the Treasure abode.

All of these runic lines were hiddenly converging in this temple as they flowed upwards like veins towards the very top of the Temple where a black coffin silently lay. Above this black coffin was the slowly rotating purple and gold dagger that caused the powerful beings currently fighting to enter this Treasure Abode of the Devilish Time Unveiler. They had a goal, but something else obviously had a goal of its own.
